Hello and welcome! We are three 6th grade students attending to the Amigos school in Cambridge, Mass. We have been investigating the Meadow ecosystem on Deer Island, in the midst of the Boston Harbor.The rocks were "dead looking", the air was stiff, and the soil was dry.

Abiotic- isn't alive or neverIMG_0384.JPGIMG_0375.JPGr was alive, a good example of an abiotic organism would be a rock.

Biotic- Alive, a good example of a biotic organism would be a tree, plant, or dog.

The meadow ecosystem that we visited was right on the water. Studying the organisms our backs were facing Logan airport and the famous Boston Harbor.

Soil Temp-51 Farenheit

Moisture- Dry

Air temp- 67 FarenheitIMG_0376.JPG

It was a hot dry climate compared to the other ecosystems we visited, which except for the Arnold Arboretum were all right on the water. Not on an overhang like the meadow ecosystem.

The producers were:

Sunflowers, wheat, asters, grass, and clovers.

Then comes the herbivores:

Locusts, mice, banded wooly bear caterpillars, and ants.

On our trip we then discovered the decomposers, which were:

Worms, slugs, snails, beetles, and bacteria.

Late in our journey the last things we observed were the carnivores, which were;

Snakes, and insects such as spiders.

Energy first flows through the wheat, flowers, sunflowers, bushes, asters, grass, and clovers. Then comes the consumers,they get 10% of the energy the producers get. It goes on like that throughout the pyramid.
